Killester hit back to secure title

Killester were crowned Men’s Premier League champions after a comfortable 63-44 win over Bord Gais Neptune at Upper Glanmire yesterday.

In a physical battle, Neptune led 29-24 at the interval but in the second half were on the wrong end of some dubious decisions that saw American Darren Townes fouled out in the third quarter as Killester edged into a four-point lead.

Coming down the stretch Neptune tired as Killester produced crucial baskets, much to the relief of coach Jonathon Grennell.
